The Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club is a traditional golf, curling, and social club. Accordingly, the Club’s dress code reflects a level of decorum that members feel is in keeping with Club traditions.

Members are responsible for ensuring that they and their guests conform to all dress code regulations. Staff has been instructed to inform any member of a dress code violation. The member has a duty to remedy the situation or be subject to disciplinary action.

Parents and Sponsors are responsible for ensuring that children’s attire adheres to the dress code. The Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club recognizes that children’s clothing trends often vary from adults; therefore, some leniency will be given provided their attire is in good taste.

The Club has plenty of free parking in two main parking lots, and is wheelchair accessible. For golfers, we suggest the South parking lot to your right as soon as you turn into Club property from Hunt Club Road. For curlers, the North parking lot, to the right directly past the Clubhouse provides easy access to the curling entrance. There is also parking directly in front of the Clubhouse, on the road below the front entrance.

The Bag Drop is in the South parking lot by the Golf Shop. For special events, there may be a specially designated Bag Drop area, which will be well marked.

All golfing guests must report to the Golf Shop, where staff will assist with information, clothing and equipment.

To access the Curling Lounge, park in the North lot and take the path to the back of the Clubhouse. The entrance just past the terrace stairs is the easiest way to get to the Curling Lounge.

Guest lockers are available to visiting golfers. Please contact the Golf Shop at 613-736-1134 to make arrangements.

For the comfort of our members and guests, the use of cellular phones is prohibited in all food service and lounge areas. Cell phones may be used for e-mail and text messaging but must be on silent or vibrate mode in food service and lounge areas.
